How do I learn to play?
Start with How to Play: a 6-step interactive walkthrough of your first turn and a full gameplay video. To start playing, pick up a Champion Deck: a tournament-winning list that is ready out of the box.
What is a Contender?
Your Contender is your hero and your health total. Every deck is led by one Contender, and you win by reducing your opponent's Contender to zero health. Meet them all on the Characters page.
How do I build a deck?
Pick one Contender and build a 50–60 card main deck with up to 4 copies of each card, plus an optional 0–15 card sideboard for competitive play. Browse every card in the Card Gallery on DeckPlanet, check Ban & Errata, and study tournament-winning lists in Featured Decks.
Where are the official rules?
On Rules & Documents: the Comprehensive Rulebook 8.0 (current core rules) plus the Gambit, Dominion 3v3 and Vault Trials Community Gauntlet rulebooks. Rules questions? Ask the judges in our Discord.
